They have already been around too long. How long did We Are Robin last?

Question though what kind of legacy Rick will leave to Dick after himself. And knowing writers there is only two options. Other something too damaging to Dick’s character or nothing at all.
Ric is going to be looked back on in mockery.
"It's too bad she won't live! But then again, who does? - Gaff Blade Runner
"In a short time, this will be a long time ago." - Werner Slow West
"One of the biggest problems in the industry is apathy right now." - Dan Didio Co-Publisher of I Wonder Why That Is Comics
-Batman #75 (July)
-the end of Doomsday Clock (keeps getting delayed, so let's be safe and say July-August)
-the end of Heroes in Crisis (May)
-the Bendis Leviathan event (???)
-and Snyder's next summer event (end of summer into fall, Snyder said, so August-September? #25 is the start of a new arc and comes out in June, so another 6 issue arc would mean September?)
All kinda points to Ric sticking around for a while imo. Chances are they're going to want to keep the wheels spinning, Lobdell or otherwise, and wait until September or October for a relaunch or a new direction (as new as getting your memories back would be). I definitely expect that to happen to plenty of other books at that point, since those are all the bigger events happening around the DCU and they all offer an opportunity to launch new books and stories.
And the conversation's kinda passed, but I think YJ is actually worth my time as a Dick Grayson fan. I can't say the same for TNBA. BTAS on the other hand, sure, but I'm a lot more happy watching YJ. There are a couple episodes of BTAS that every Dick fan needs to watch, anyways. YJ still isn't really that solo Nightwing series that we want to really focus on our boy, but it's hell of a lot better than TNBA which is a huge reason why most Batman and DC writers/staff view Dick as a lesser character to Batman. So ultimately, I don't care which is the better show. I just know which one is more exciting to watch as a fan.

Started YJ & Titans, both are good showings for Dick/Robin/Nightwing. Ric has pushed me away from Nightwing Comics for the foreseeable future because it the triumphant return of Nightwing is done in some crossover that once again make the story revolve around Batman I will not waste my time with a character that is disregarded by DC as having no story outside of Batman. YJ is my favorite since I haven’t finished Titans.
